Ancient Lamps in the J. Paul Getty Museum

In the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum are more than six hundred ancient lamps that span the sixth century BC to the seventh century AD, most from the Roman Imperial period and largely created in Asia Minor or North Africa. These lamps have much to reveal about life, religion, pottery, and trade in the ancient Greco-Roman world. Most of the Museum’s lamps have never before been published, and this extensive typological catalogue will thus be an invaluable scholarly resource for art historians, archaeologists, and those interested in the ancient world.
